2005 Josef Rosch Trittenheimer Apotheke Riesling Auslese - Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer (3/6/2015)
– popped and poured –
– tasted non-blind over a couple hours –
– AP #: … 10 06 –

NOSE: peaches and cream oatmeal; light petrol note; hints of persimmon, cardamom, and leather.

BODY: cork soaked ~80%, with a couple streaks to the top; light golden-tan color; no spritz; medium-full bodied.

TASTE: quite sweet, but not thick/syrupy; plenty of front palate acidity; fruit is maturing — comes across as a mix of pear juice and apple juice; light notes of underbrush and powder; finish is long, but of light intensity; 8.5% alc. not noticeable; acidity did seem to recede over the course of a couple hours. Solid, but not special. Drink now or over the next few years.

50, 5, 11, 15, 7 = (88 pts.)

Nice note Brian, not a producer I see up here. Think David B is a fan here?

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the kind words. I don’t know what David’s opinion is on this producer — maybe he’ll chime in.
